The other night at Emmer & Rye I had some emmer….duh.  That wasn’t my first encounter with emmer but it was my first time tasting something good made with it.  I’ve had many emmer dishes but nothing like what was served at Emmer & Rye…… I left inspired.

I took a little trip last year to eastern Washington to visit the emmer and spelt fields. You might have been around then to read it, if not then (click here).  Pretty cool stuff and I left with a few bags of emmer, spelt, and other cool things.  Well, good thing emmer holds for a long time in a vacuum sealed bag or I would have to drive back to eastern Washington (yes, I know where to get it in Seattle….calm down).

This stew is going to be part of something bigger at a later time but for now here it is by itself. It’s realllllllllllllly good. Hell, anything with veal stock and veal demi finisher is pretty awesome.
